0F CHICAGO, ILLINOIS IRRIGATOR Application led October 3, 1928. SerialNo. 310,133.

The present invention is directed to improvements in irrigators.

The primary object of the invention is to provide a device of thischaracter so con- 5 structed that the same can be conveniently suspendedupon a wall or placed upon a support, the construction being such thatthe vessel and discharge hose connected thereto will be completelyconcealed from view.

Another object of the invention is to' provide a device of this kindconstructed in such manner that the vessel can be removed from theholder in order that the same can be thoroughly sterilized.

Another object ot' the invention is to provide a device of this kindwherein the position of the discharge hose controls the How ot' liquidfrom the Vessel.

Another object of the invention is to provide a device of this kindwhich is extremely simple in construction, efficient in operation,durable, and one which can be manufactured at a very small cost.

With these and other objects in View, this invention resides in thenovel features of con struction, formation, combination and arrangementof parts to be hereinafter more fully described, claimedV andillustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is aperspective view of the device.

Figure 2 is a sectional View on line 2--2 of Fi ure 1.

igure 3 is a sectional view on line 3 3 of Figure 1.

Figure 4 is a bottom plan view.

Figure 5 is a detail sectional view through the discharge pipe.

Figure 6 is a sectional vview on line 6-6 of Figure 5. y

Referring to the drawings, 1 designates a holder preferably formed fromsheet metal, said holder comprising a back 2, sides 3, and a bottom 4.The forward edges of the sides 3 are inturned to provide fianges 5 toproduce grooves 6, the purpose of whichk will be later explained. Theback 2 is provided with a plurality of perforations 7 for the passage ofsecuring devices in order that the holden can be conveniently secured toa wall or other support.

The upper edges of the sides are provided `With beveled or slopingportions 8 in order that the closure to be hereinafter described canmore readily operate.

A vessel 9 is employed and is fapable of being removably mounted in theholder 1, said vessel being formed from glass, porcelain or any othersuitable material. This vessel includes a back wall 10, side walls 11, afront wall 12, and a bottom 13.

The forward edges of -the sides 11 extend beyond the front wall 12 andconstitute ribs 14 adapted to engage in the grooves 6 when the vessel isengaged in the holder'.

It will be observed upon reference to Figure 3 that the front wall l2 isof less height than the side walls 11, the purpose of which will laterappear.

The front wall 12 of the vessel 9 is provided near its lower end with anopening 15 in which is threaded the inner end of the pipe 16, said pipehaving an annular shoulder 17 thereon and against which the inner end ofthe sleeve 18 bears, said sleeve being rotatably mounted upon the pipe16 and has carried thereby a nipple 19.

The sleeve is 'retained upon the pipe by a cap screw 2() which threadsin the outer ends of the pipe 16, as clearly shown in Figure 5 of thedrawings.

A rubber hose 21 is provided and has one end secured to the nipple whilethe other end carries a nozzle 21.

The pipe 16 is provided with a discharge opening 22adapted to registerwith the bore of the nipple 19 when said nipple is swung downwardly topermit the contents of the vessel to flow into the hose 21. It will beof course understood that lwhen the nipple is swung upwardly the sleeve18 will\ close the opening 22 to prevent liquid from entering the hose.

To the bottoni 4 of the holder is secured a pair of clips 23 in which issupported the pintle 24. A closure 25 is provided and has its bottom 26provided with sleeves 27 for pivotally engaging the pintle 24 in orderthat i Y ed positie om the will 1;'.

n the, :Closure is in it@ il e wall '129 le r. spar tdi "el in orderthat is provided tf:- accoinnedate the hose 2, as clearly shown inFigure 3. and at which time the hose is su tained in its4 inopirativeposition by tur 1in-'sf the saine upon the upper edge nl' the wall if.Then it is desired to use the device ilse closure is swung open and thehere is removed from the Wall 152 in order that tir sleeve can rotate toswing the nipple 1S) downivaril lv to bring the bore thereof inregistration with the opening 2:2. The How of liquid from the vessel canbe stopped or regulated at any rtime by swinging the nipple to itsclosed or partially closed position.

'hen the device is not in use the closure will prevent the entrance ofdust or other foreign matter into the vessel and will maintain the samein' a thoroughly sanitary condition Which is extremely desirable inarticles'of this character.

The rear Wall 10 of the vessel is provided with perforations 30 for thepassage of a securing device to suspended the same should it be desiredto use the vessel when removed from the holder.

The vessel may be provided with any suitable graduations or otherindicating means in order that the'solut-ions can be properly mixed.

From the foregoing, it is thought that the construction,operationvand'many advantages of the herein described invention will beapparent to those skilled in the art, Without further description, andit will be understood that various changes in the size, shape andproportion. and minor details of construction may be resorted to Withoutdeparting from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of theinvention.

If desired a catch 3l may be employed for positively holding the closurein its closed p0- sition.

Having thus described the invention, I claim:

1. `A surgical irrgator comprising a vessel, a fluid dischargel pipeconnected with the vessel, a closure sleeve rotatably mounted on thepipe. a hose connected with the sleeve and supported by the vessel tonormally hold the closure sleeve against rotation to prevent the flow ofHuid from the vessel into the hose and to permit flow of fluid Yalienthe hose disengaged from the vessel As a new article of manufacture` anirrigator comprising a vessel having a discharge pipe connectedtherewith, a sleeve rotatable on the pipe and having a nipple7adischarge vessel. vlaid if the w t and :i host ri lined .vitliiiresille-tive froid w1-f1 En '.stusifin v iii-rect l fiillt rnvsignature.
